Friday, October 28

Today we sorted the fall artifacts that we scavenged for last week. Everyone was able to tell us their sorting rules. Over the next few weeks, we will be working on our sorting rule vocabulary and practicing our sorting skills. Our next step, was a trip outside to find seeds. In Wiispering Woods, we played our 'Camouflage' game which is a type of 'Hide and Seek'. We had so much fun!!!!

• On Monday, October 31 the Kindergarten class will be having a Pumpkin Party. We have some exciting pumpkin activities planned for our special day. This year, our students will be decorating a cookie and enjoying some healthy party food. Students are welcome to come in costume, but please keep it practical for the school environment. No weapons of any sort, please!

• For many children, Halloween is a special celebration. However, we recognize that not all parents are supportive of this event. At Dr. E. W. Coffin School, our Halloween dress-up celebration for children is OPTIONAL. For those children who choose to dress-up, the following are our expectations; Students may dress-up in:

                        - ‘Regular’ non-violent Halloween costume,

                        - Costume that represents a character from one of their favorite novels, or 

                        - Orange and/or black clothing

No letter of the week and please return you library books by Tuesday morning.

Picture Orders are due on November 4. Please watch for Mrs. Rennie's 'Worth Mentioning' emails for further details.

Thank-you volunteers for your contributing to our party and classroom volunteering!
